Student Mentoring Program

The NFB of Illinois sponsors a mentoring program. This program connects Young students with young adults and older professionals to help them get a better idea about what it’s like to live the life we want. The student and the mentor would communicate through phone calls, texts, emails, etc. They could talk about jobs, and NFB, or any questions or interesting topics that the mentor or student would like. This is a great way to get our younger students involved in learning about different opportunities that are available to them. if you are interested in being a mentor or a student please email amy bosko at amy.liz0922@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hey everyone! I am a year 11 student, currently studying at Santa Sabina College and have to design and make a product that will benefit a community. Me and my partner Holly, have decided to design key heads for those who live with any form of vision impairment. These key heads will fit over the head of a key, and been uniquely designed so the key can be easily identified for any specific lock. However, this design is useless if it will not benefit those you struggle to find their keys, so any response or feedback is highly appreciated. This surgery should only take 5 minutes of your time.
